RHAPSODY IN BLUE / QUARTET AUDITIONS 2014-2015

The Oil City High School Rhapsody in Blues and Quartets are in need of the following voice parts:
 RIBs - All Voice Parts (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass)
Women's Quartet - All Voice Parts (Tenor, Lead, Baritone, Bass)
4Ward On! - Tenor

Auditions will take place the week of May 27th.  Students auditioning for RIBs are asked to prepare a piece that they can sing well a cappella (no limitation on style of music.  School appropriate, please).  Consideration will be made for those who can hold pitch well throughout their audition, and sing in a strong, healthy voice.

Prospective quartet members will be asked to prepare all voice parts to the following pieces:
Women: I Love to Sing 'Em Tag
Men: Ring, Ring the Banjo
Parts will be up on the website this week.

All current students in grades 8-11 are eligible to audition.
